Shyheim Battle expected to showcase versatile abilities

Rocky Mount (N.C.) High head coach Jason Battle knew his star player had something important to convey when he met with him in his office.

Senior cornerback Shyheim Battle, no relation, was ready to announce his college choice to NC State on Thursday. Coach Battle has watched programs fight for his standout player for months, but figured his recruitment would last into the season. Now that it is over, some calm will resume for the Gryphons.
